Being born into poverty and hardship in 1930s London, Matthew's life was one of relentless struggle. One inadvertent act in defence of his mother would haunt his conscience forever. Matthew s journey takes him from the poverty of a cold stone granary to the opulence of Mayfair and Kensington Gardens, where he starts a family of his own. Despite working his way to the top of the business world, he remains an outsider to London s elite. He then realises that same elite has an ugly underbelly. High society was a hot bed of depravity. Will he correct society s wrongs? Will the man who never succumbed to expectations be able to challenge his own destiny or will he simply accept the futility of it all?
